 It was a long, low, unfinished apart
 ment the rough iOists and beams being simply coated with whitewash. The clear
 ash floor was scrubbed to a snowy white
 ness and the few chairs that the room contained were placed against the wall in a prim sort of way that seemed to indicate that they had not been displaced in some ! time. Along one side of this apartment
 were racks upon which were pans of milk, ! tier on tier. nearly tO the ceiling. Milk cans of various sizes stood about and a long iron sink contained milk bottles that | a young maid was busily scalding. lt

 visitor and nodded a good morning.
 Why are they invalid cOwss' asked the newsman.
 Why. you see, there arc a certain class ! of customers who drink lots of milk sim ply for medicine. There's a lady on Mad l isOn avenue, in New York, that takes | three quarts day, and I'm told she drinks ! it all herself Some of these people are | regular cTanks, and the moment you give 1 them milk from new COW, they spot it There was little Jersey heifer, years old. that used to give beautiful milk al most as golden as the butter that could be | made from it, and this 1 furnished tO Q cousUmptive individual On Twenty-third street.

 X prominent city physician subSe- quently seen by the reporter said: -I re- gard milk as better tonic than most preparations. It helps the impoverished blood and furnishes a nutriment easily taken by the system. The principal parts of the milk are the Olein or oily parts, the caseine or cheesy portion, and the phos- plates of lime and potash. In butter we get the olein, in cheese the Olein and ca seine together, because the caseine, when the curd forms, holds the Olein together. In cases of typhoid fe-er I give milk al- together, and have known many per son to be brought from deaths dO1- through its agency.
 It is now 2 common practice to in1cct milk into the blood when it Is impOy erished That fluid takes 1t up and apprO- priates it in some unaccountable way and peoples lives have been saved il this way. drink glass of milk every night before going to bed and have for years.-NeW York Mail and Express.
